Gone with the Wind

This is Barnsley Gardens in Adairsville Georiga. It has been renovated and is now quite a tourist attraction. During the War Between the States or the civil uprising of 1861 the family that lived here was typical of most Southern people, who lived on plantations. Of course my family was not of this class. Just came from a place called Ireland. Part of the family greeted the first settlers. Another story another time.

The plantation was saved by being warned that the Yankees were coming and the carrier of the warning was ambused and killed later. The owner of the Plantation buried him in the family plot in gratitude for his message.

When the book was written according to the guide at the museum she was impressed by the stories around the place.. An Indian curse, bad luck to all who lived or owned the place. I think they even got an Indian to remove the curse and now it seems that the place is doing well.

The house surived the uprising but was burned accidently in the early 1900's. The vault on one wall looks dismal and empty only of the spirits that surrond the old place. Barnsley Gardens is one day trip if you are ever up this way try to make it they have little houses shaped like the late 1800's, resturant, and golf courses and of course beautiful acres to walk and ride in .
